Why is Child Centered Recruitment important?
Child-centered recruitment is the best way to increase the opportunity for successful permanency within a family for those children and youth who have been waiting the longest for adoption. What do we believe? Every child deserves a permanent family. Working toward adoption is the highest priority. Every effort should be made to keep siblings together, identify relatives first and keep children in their own communities. Action: Through its Adopt Cuyahoga’s Kids program, Adoption Network Cleveland promotes child-centered recruitment in working with children waiting for permanency.
